'Error 53' fury mounts as Apple software updates threaten to kill your iPhone 6
This article is from The Guardian newspaper, it's aim was to attract everyone's attention to the major fault in iPhone 6. It achieved this through revealing the so called "error 53" problem. "Thousands of iPhone 6 users claim they have been left holding almost worthless phones because Apple's latest operating system permanently disables the handset if it detects that a repair has been carried out by a non-Apple technician." This problem only becomes apparent if users update to the latest version of Apple's iPhone software, iOS 9. After it was installed many people lost their photos and other data held on the handset, tech experts claim that Apple knows all about the problem, and have done nothing to warn people that this may happen once you install the new update.
It's very clear that Apple haven't mentioned this because they didn't want to lose customers, and also so that people will have to pay more to get their iPhone's repaired as "Apple charges £236 for a repair to the home button on an iPhone 6 in the UK, while an independent repairer would demand a fraction of that." I think that "error 53" was created purposely so that customers are forced to pay much more to repair their phone, I think this is ridiculous because Apple seem to do this a lot, as there are also multiple problems with their chargers.
I didn't even know this was happening! I definitely agree with your thoughts too.
